Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Ollis's disappearance (Episode 1) introduces his as-yet-unknown role as a victim or witness to the antimatter phenomenon, which Arthur then plays in Episode 2 when the Doctors and Jo encounter him in the transported environment."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Though not named until Episode 2, Ollis's initial vanishing introduces the concept of individuals being erased or displaced by the antimatter entity. This concept is later reified in Episode 2 when the full character of Arthur Ollis appears in the alien environment, confirming his role as a victim of the antimatter invasion. His presence in the transported scene provides continuity to his original disappearance.
